Any hopes of Mandla Masango returning to Kaizer Chiefs were shot down on Wednesday, with the club's football manager Bobby Motaung saying the midfielder is "out of the picture" as far as talks for a new contract are concerned.
Asked on Wednesday whether a date has been set to re-open talks with Masango, football manager Motaung said the club has moved on - "without Masango."
"Mandla is out of the picture already," said Motaung without saying why the club stopped the pending talks with the player.
Motaung added: "As a club we are no longer in talks with the player. I don't even know where Mandla is, talk to his representatives. As a club at the moment, our focus is wholly on our MTN8 game against Maritzburg United this evening."
Masango's representatives could not be reached for comment.
Masango, who joined Chiefs in 2007 ahead of the 2007/8 Premier Soccer League (PSL) season, was one of Amakhosi star performers last season.
He scored seven league goals in 28 games after years of struggling to break into the first team. His goals were crucial to the club lifting a League and Cup double last season under coach Stuart Baxter.
According to a Soccer Laduma report, Danish top-flight side, Randers, have joined Hapoel Tel Aviv on Masango's list of admirers, however it remains to be seen whether anything will come of their interest
